Australia have recruited Michael Hussey as a long-term batting consultant to help them prepare for the 2027 Ashes and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The 51-year-old former batter has been added to the national staff as Australia look to improve their form in the longest format, having drawn 1-1 at home to Bangladesh and then lost 2-1 in South Africa in their last two series.
